What does RERISE mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To rise again after having gone down or fallen.
Rerise is a rare but transparent combination of re- and rise, describing anything that goes up a second time after falling or subsiding, whether that is a river that rerises after a brief drop, a value that rerises after a dip, or a person who tries to rerise after being knocked down. It is far less common than phrases such as rise again, and many writers prefer those instead, but rerise does appear as a single word in dictionaries covering unusual formations. Writers who do use it tend to keep it in the present tense, since older or inflected forms feel unfamiliar to most readers. Its meaning never strays from the plain idea of rising once more.
